Implementation of a Quality System in the Academic Environment and in Research and Development Laboratories

G. Oliveira Gomes, M. Nogueira Frota, N. Miekeley, P. Bode
  • Abstract:
    An operational quality system is one of the opportunities to demonstrate the technical competence of laboratories in the academic environment. The International Standard ISO/IEC 17025 includes many requirements to such a quality system. A new approach has been developed in which these requirements have been prioritised, taking into account the specific aspects of work and organisation of e.g. a university laboratory. Basic and complimentary requirements have been distinguished, resulting in an initial reduction of the total number of items to be implemented. In addition, a modular system for implementation is suggested, to accommodate the awareness building and training of employees.
